Chapter 22 What Does Your Husband Do?


    Chapter 22 What Does Your Husband Do?


    "My husband is just an ordinary programmer," Penny casually lied, maintaining a serious tone.


    "Marriage takes effort from both sides, you know? Can''t let him bear all the burden alone."


    She pushed the coffee to Ondo, and smiled decently, "Although he doesn''t earn much, he is a


    devoted family man."


    What Penny described was the image of an ideal spouse she conjured up in her mind.


    Ondo fell far short of that image in every aspect.


    "Well, Mr. Fletcher, what about you? Thatdy just mentioned that you''re married. What kind of person


    is your wife?"


    Penny casually asked, trying to get close to the client.


    After all, this man didn''t even know her name or what she looked like, so she couldn''t expect much


    from his answer.


    As expected, Ondo furrowed his brow slightly and gave an honest reply, "I don''t know."


    He dragged on the divorce, even sending the divorce agreement to Stuart''s mansion, but that woman


    did not react whatsoever.


    What was she waiting for?


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    She just wanted to cling to the Fletcher Group like a parasite.


    Penny was surprised by his candid response, and at that moment, the waiter arrived with the dishes.


    She took the opportunity to change the subject.


    "Chef Bell is an art enthusiast. It''s amazing how he incorporates famous paintings into his dishes."


    Three exquisite dishes were brought to the table, seemingly chaotic in color butplementing each


    other perfectly.


    "Mr. Fletcher, please enjoy."


    The vision before Penny was bing increasingly blurry, and she just wanted to finish the task


    quickly and go to the hospital.


    But Ondo held a coffee cup and asked casually, "How did you know I have a stomach problem?"


    She hesitated for a moment. "Just a guess. I heard that you are a workaholic and probably don''t eat on


    time."


    It was Rex whoined during their phone call, mentioning how Ondo was too absorbed in work


    and frequently suffered from stomach problems.


    Rex could only hope that Penny would remind him and take care of him.


    Penny couldn''t bring herself to refuse, so she always promised to do so.


    However, in the past three years of marriage, the two of them had never met even once.


    The following dishes were served one after another, and Penny briefly introduced each one while


    observing Ondo''s reactions.


    But Ondo was the most adept at controlling his micro-expressions that she had ever seen. After


    seven dishes, not even his eyshes twitched.


    Penny couldn''t tell at all which one he preferred.


    Even when he picked up the food, he only took a few bites before setting down his utensils.


    Did he not like any of them?


    She even started to doubt Colin''s information. If Ondo had studied something rted to art before,


    his reaction shouldn''t have been so indifferent.


    "Ms. Perry?"


    "Perry?"


    Penny snapped back to reality and realized that Ondo was already standing in front of her, his


    eyebrows slightly furrowed.


    Her mind went nk as if that recent memory had gone missing. She hastily said, "I''ll go pay the bill."


    Ondo nced at her. If it weren''t for her genuine expression at that moment, he might have thought


    she was trying to skip out on the bill.


    The waiter ced the bill in front of her, but she didn''t react. Helplessly, the waiter handed the card


    machine over to Ondo.


    Ondo found it amusing, swiped his card, and noticed that Penny was still lost in thought.


    "It''s already paid."


    Penny stopped in embarrassment. She had stood up too quickly and now felt dizzy. Unexpectedly, she


    leaned towards him.


    Ondo initially tried to avoid her, but realizing that the esctor was nearby, he hesitated for a


    moment and she had already fallen into his arms.


    Only then did he notice that she was burning up.


    The cold fragrance from the man entered his nostrils, and Penny''s confused brain began to function


    again. Ignoring her difort, she quickly withdrew to the side. "Sorry, I might have caught a chillst


    night."


    Caught a chill?


    Ondo saw her pale face and wondered if she had lost her mind and spent the whole night soaking in


    cold water.


    "Since you''re married, why didn''t you tell your husband to pick you upst night?"


    With that kind of drug, it''s much morefortable to have someone help her than to tough it out alone.
